Subject: Getting rid of the Fcc: field, and other compose problems.

Hi,
I am a new Gnus user. I have set up Gnus to work with Gmail using
offlineimap. Whenever I try to compose a message (or reply to a
message), I get the following problems:
1. The "Fcc:" field is populated with a non-existant directory, and I am
prompted whether I want to create this maildir. Since I don't want to
save a local copy of the sent message (because Gmail SMTP and IMAP will
get it for me anyway), I have to always say "no" before proceeding. This
is a nuisance when it happens every time.
2. The "From:" field is populated by a junk email id, constructed from
my username on the local machine and the local machine's hostname. I
have to edit this field also every time so that it is my proper email
address.
Since I use a couple of email addresses with my gmail account,
I have tried the following in my .gnus file to get this field to use the
"To:" address of the email to which I am replying:
;; Reply using the same address as to which the original was addressed.
(setq message-alternative-emails
(regexp-opt '("myfirstaddress@gmail.com" "myotheraddress@gmail.com")))
;; (setq gnus-posting-styles
'(((header "to" "myfirstaddress@gmail.com")
(address "myfirstaddress@gmail.com"))
((header "to" "myotheraddress@gmail.com")
(address "myotheraddress@gmail.com"))))
But neither of these works.
Could you help me with these?
Thanks and regards,
Philip
